2015 has been full of new experiences and new products to try! Have I shifted my favorites or abandoned them for the new goodies? Check out my top 15 beauty and skin care items for 2015!

It's a Tuesday and instead of a real travel post, I have here my haul when I was in the Incheon Airport! Read on to see what I picked up!

Omg! I got sent another round of skin care products from InstaNatural! Remember the all natural brand of skin care items I reviewed not long ago here? Well, I got hooked up this time with creams that'll cover my whole body! Read on to see my thoughts on these babies!

Well, this is unusual... it seems that I have quite a haul just this past Christmas! And I have a big feeling my family/friends have caught on that I am a "beauty enthusiast" (aka makeup junkie). Read on to see what I have received over the holiday and the newest additions to my growing army! :D

Hey Guys!

Let me share with you what I hauled recently and the last of my buys during my vacation in the Philippines just last summer!

Formulated with the natural ingredients from Oak trees, it removes oils and all dirt and deeply clean the pore, leaving your skin clearer with less visible pores.

 How to use:

Sooo... My family and I have been to The Great Mall over at Milpitas, CA over the weekend to chill and watch movies. Mind you, it was packed with people because the sales were crazy for Thanksgiving Weekend! We didn't plan to buy anything really until we passed by the Daiso Japan Store! I was like.. "OMG! This is new?!" because last time we've been there that store was non-existent! 

Daiso is a store for Japanese products which mostly costs $1.50 (if converted to Philippine Peso, only 65PHP!!!) only! I was stoked to see this store because people rave about shopping in Daiso or popularly known as Saizen in the Philippines... So many cool and affordable finds even in the Beauty/Cosmetic sections! Unlike the ones I've read about in the Philippines, this Daiso Store was small and didn't have as much stuff nor stocks but I am generally pleased to have what I have hauled!

This charcoal mask receives a lot of raves in the forums! A must-buy for all beauty lovers! I'm so happy to find this in-store! They have the Charcoal Foam and other face wash but I thought I'd try this out first!

Who can pass a nose pack??? I definitely think this is so much like the IWhite Korea nose pack which I use to purchase back in the Philippines... It is a cream form that you spread all-over your nose, wait for it to dry and then peel off in order to remove your whiteheads and blackhead. Tried it out yesterday! Smells better than the one from IWhite and I definitely think it cleared up my nose!

Finally! I've found a Double Eyelid Glue! I tried this out yesterday, as well! It is a clear liquid which feels light and does the job! Not messy at all and feels natural on the lid! Thumbs up for this!

I've read and heard many times that people may benefit with eyelash curlers like this in order to get lovely curls even in hard-hard-to-reach-areas like the inner corners. I have yet to try it out! This is similar to the one from Fanny Serrano in the Philippines only much cheaper!

I've looked for replacement eyelash curler pads everywhere because my Sally Hanssen Eyelash Curler always seems to lose its lash pad... Unfortunately, I haven't found a drugstore with such a thing until I found Daiso! I took one out and placed it on my E.L.F. eyelash curler and wow! It is awesome! Why? It fat enough for a snug fit (no worried losing it!) and very sturdy that it gave my eyelashes an instant lift! The E.L.F. is already awesome by itself but this just makes it better!

I'm thinking of making a comparison post on my eyelash curlers soon just because I noticed a difference between them...

I helped out with her makeup! Yeah! :D

This is the Ballad Version in her own English lyrics!

"Refreshingly light cleansing oil for exquisitely clean skin!"

I used to tug off my eye makeup before acquiring this which isn't good at all... But now I don't have to! I seriously see my hardcore gel eyeliner melt off so effortlessly with this and now I can't go about without it! My skin also seems to be dry in the cold weather lately so I love how this moisturizes my face every time. Yes, I definitely love this product!

I bought this from a TFS outlet in Seafood City (Milpitas, CA) and I think it is very overpriced! If I thought TFS products are overpriced in the Philippines, it is much worse here in the U.S.! I probably won't repurchase again because I am running low on moolah at the moment (sad life! LOL)... But I probably will buy it if I was in the Philippines again either through a TFS outlet or online! When this run out, I'll probably be using petroleum jelly...

So my family and I went to Milpitas, CA last week for our dentist appointment... then we ended up at Seafood City. Its a supermarket that has Goldilocks, Bench, and The Face Shop! The prices were higher incomparison to the already-too-expensive price tag in the Philippines... but I couldn't resist!

I felt like I was probably breaking out because I didn't take off my makeup properly. I never had a problem with breaking out before but now it seems that I need to take extra measures! Initially, I was looking at other $21 cleansing oils but the sales lady said that this had better skin properties. This is 150ml and cost $16.

I also didn't have a good moisturizer at hand so I asked the sales lady what she recommends for an oily skin type with dry patches and is also acne-prone... She showed me this. It supposedly minimizes the pores, so that's good! My dad actually bought my sisters and I the toner for this before from The Face Shop located at SM MOA. This cost me $24.

If you read my post about an award, you'd know I'm suffering from uneven eyelid shape. In other terms, one of my eyelids has no fold to it resulting to 2 different eyeshapes which in turn makes it difficult for me to line my eyes symmetrically. My friend was supposed to send me Eyelid glue from the Philippines but that didn't turn out as planned... When I saw this product, I was like "OMG!!! HURRAH!" because now I can create a fold with my monolid. It cost me $2 a pack and I bought 2 of these just to be sure!

As I was looking at the tools section of the shop (same area I got the eyelid tape), the sales lady recommend me this. She said this was good for washing your face so the product can penetrate the skin better. It was $3 so I was like "Okay!".

I wasn't supposed to get this but the sales lady said that adding an item at least $3 to my purchase will enable me to avail the promo for getting stuff worth $10! I threw this in since it was exactly $3.

These masks were my pick for the promo! Each CO-Q10 mask costs $2 so getting 5 of it amounted to the free $10 item! 

Now these were the freebies! Its so small and I bet its great for traveling! I was pleased to receive 2 samples because I usually buy samples when I was in the Philippines or the shops never really gave any back there (for me, at least).

This haul cost me $55! A big blow to my birthday money! LOL. My older sister commented that I could have gotten it cheaper online... Oh well! I know for sure I could get it even cheaper online in the Philippines... but I just couldn't wait! HAHA. This would most likely be the last of my haul from my birthday money because I need to start saving. And oh, I didn't get any BB Cream because the prices were really bad that made me look away instantly ($30-$50) and the fact I still have a few to try and a lot to review. Be on a look out for that!

For those who don't know, The Face Shop is a Korean brand of makeup and skin care products. It's really cheap in Korea but it gets expensive the farther away it is sold from its mother land. My Filipino readers, you can get it at most SMs (e.g. SM MOA). Unfortunately for my fellow Bicolanos, SM Naga doesn't have this store the last time I checked.

Thanks for reading!
